The moon was shining bright In Carolina
The night we said goodbye so tenderly
And now That I,m Away From Carolina
Won't somebody tell the moon for me
Oh! Carolina Moon, keep shining,
Shining on the one who waits for me,
Carolina Moon, I'm pining,
Pining for the place I long to be,
How I'm hoping tonight, you'll go,
Go to the right window,
Scatter your light, say I'm alright, please do,
tell her that I'm blue and lonely,
Dreamy Carolina Moon.

Carolina Moon, keep shining,
Shining on the one who waits for me,
Carolina Moon, I'm pining,
Pining for the place I long to be,
How I'm hoping tonight, you'll go,
Go to the right window,
Scatter your light, say I'm alright, please do,
Tell her that I'm blue and lonely,
Dreamy Carolina Moon.
